PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle’s controls and have read and understood the driving
instructions, take the vehicle for a test drive.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect your new vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any
problems should be corrected by a Club Car dealer or a trained technician.
• Forward/Reverse shifter:
Check for proper operation.
See Controls and Indicators on page 10.
• Brakes:
Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pres-
sure, it should not go more than halfway to the floor, and vehicle should come to a smooth, straight
stop. If the brake pedal goes more than halfway to the floor, or if the vehicle swerves or fails to stop,
have the brake system checked and adjusted as required. When brake pedal is fully pressed under
heavy pressure, pedal should feel firm and foot pad should be a minimum of 2 inches (5.1 cm) from
floor. Brake adjustment must be maintained so the brake pedal cannot be pressed to the floor under
any circumstance.
• Park brake:
Apply moderate pressure to park brake handle. Tension should increase as the handle is
pulled. When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on an
incline of 20% or less).
• Reverse buzzer:
The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is
in the REVERSE position.
• Steering:
The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator:
After starting the engine with the key switch and placing the Forward/Reverse handle in
the FORWARD position, the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed as the accelerator pedal
is pressed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the engine should
idle. Vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Governor:
Check maximum vehicle speed. It should operate at 17-19 mph (27-31 km/h) on a level sur-
face.
• Differential lock cable:
With the wheels at rest, pull the differential lock handle toward the rear of the
vehicle (locked position). The differential lock arm at the other end of the cable should move approxi-
mately one-half inch (12.7 mm) downward. When the differential lock handle is placed back into the
unlocked position, the differential lock arm should move approximately one-half inch (12.7 mm)
upward.
• General:
Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Club Car dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
